GlossaryParakeratosis

retention of nuclei in the skin's outermost layer

Parakeratosis is a skin condition where the outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, retains its nuclei, which is not typical. Normally, these cells lose their nuclei as they move to the surface and become part of the protective barrier. This condition can be seen in various skin disorders, such as psoriasis, and indicates an abnormality in the skin's maturation process.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

nkrata in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
